Polycule:
The word “polycule” is a portmanteau for a “polyamorous molecule.” In practice, a polycule is a group of non-monogamous people linked by romantic and sexual relationships, … . It can be as big or as small as you can imagine. “A polycule can be three individuals or an infinite number of people, as no two polycule structures are alike,” she adds. The number of people in a polycule depends on each member’s intentions. [Women’s Health]
Maybe it’s new, I’d not run across it before. Noted in “MAGA and the single girl,” Kara Voght, WaPo:
[Arynne Wexler] believes there are plenty of people like her out there — those with “common sense, patriotic values” — who feel culturally out of place among conservatives. The 2024 election cycle had been an “ascendant time” for the right, she said, but that was partly because people were sick of the excesses of the left — the people Wexler would describe at her panel as “androgynous pixie haircut unbathed Marxist freaks in polycules.” But a backlash against liberal ways of life isn’t the same as an endorsement of the opposite.
A bit clumsy, like much of lefty thought.
